Biden is not sharpening the knife: he simply placed a knife sharpener on the counter and is a good sport about letting others use it .

It always was a caretaker presidency, that’s what I thought when he first got into office.

I expect thoughtful words from his speeches as he gently leaves office

The Biden admin is already going after Palestinian solidarity orgs and ramping up powers to use the military domestically.

The Biden admin + Canadian targetinh of Samidoun and the domestic forces have been increased throughout the admin via direct funding of cops and supplying with military equipment along with fighting to keep and expand Trump-era national guard deployments using the insurrection act.

I gave you the specific, identifying terms for both things, you can easily look into them with a Google search. If you spend 5 minutes looking for each and come back and say you could not identify them, I will go fetch them for you.

He is right about the Palestinian humanitarian orgs, been doing that for a year. I don’t know about the military, unless he means Biden is probably not doing all he can to prevent them from being misused domestically. Don’t know anything there
